About Knowledge

Will you ever know
what you could have known
all along
when you thought
I know it all?

Thoughts are words.
And words are thoughts.
When they become interlocked
through your heart:
they'll give you a brief look
into your soul.

They say: "It's easy for you to say."
But do they understand what you are saying?


The Brighter Side

On the brighter side
it is never dark.
But very often,
in total darkness,
a shimmer of light
breaks through the dark clouds.

The brighter side
is not necessarily the better side,
in the long run.


Some People Have It

Do you have to see it to believe it?
Then you have no imagination!

There is: how?
And there is and how?
What is the difference?
"How" is when you're asking!
"And how" is to prove to others
that you knew it all along!
